FAQs
What is polystone?
Polystone is a composite material made from crushed stone mixed with a resin. It is durable, weather-resistant, and can be molded into intricate shapes while mimicking the appearance of natural stone.
How heavy is the planter?
The planter weighs approximately 125kgs.
What are the dimensions of the planter?
The planter measures 100cm in length and 70cm in height.
Can this planter be left outside all year round?
Yes, polystone is designed for outdoor use and is weather-resistant. However, in areas with severe frost, emptying the planter during winter is recommended as a precaution.
How should I clean the planter?
Clean with a damp cloth. A mild soap solution can be used for tougher dirt, followed by rinsing.
Is drainage provided?
Typically, large planters of this type have drainage holes, but it is advisable to check for their presence or to drill them if necessary, depending on your planting needs.
Troubleshooting
Planter difficult to move after placement
Plan the final location carefully before filling. Use heavy-duty equipment or multiple people for any necessary adjustments.
Plants struggling despite adequate watering
Check drainage holes at the bottom are not blocked. Ensure the correct potting mix is used for the chosen plants and consider the planter's heat absorption in sunny spots.
Visible dust or dirt on the surface
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with clean water.

- Can be used to define spaces or as a standalone feature.
Cons
- Extremely heavy (125kgs), making it difficult to move once positioned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Due to its considerable weight (125kgs), it is highly recommended to decide on the final placement of the planter before filling it with soil and plants. Use a heavy-duty trolley or enlist assistance for any necessary movement. Ensure the chosen location has a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
Compatibility: This planter is suitable for a wide range of plants, from small annuals and perennials to larger shrubs and small trees, provided appropriate soil and drainage are managed. It is compatible with standard potting mixes and drainage materials.
Care: Clean the planter periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the polystone finish. During winter in frost-prone areas, consider removing plants and emptying the planter to prevent water from freezing and potentially causing damage, although polystone is generally frost-resistant.
